EXCLUSIVE: Dwayne Johnson says working on Fast & Furious 7 after Paul Walker died was ‘surreal’

Dwayne Johnson claimed going back to work on the set of Fast & Furious 7 after Paul Walker died was a ‘surreal’ experience.

Production had to be halted temporarily after the 40-year-old actor was killed in a car accident last November mid-way through filming.

‘It was a little surreal but also encouraged even greater focus,’ Dwayne told Metro.

‘You step on set and you want to honour him, you want to do right by him and his family, and also you want to do right by his fans so that we deliver something that’s going to be powerful, emotional and meaningful to them.’

Johnson, who has been busy promoting his latest film Hercules, reprises his role as DSS agent Luke Hobbs in the new instalment.

He added: ‘It was an honour to play the role. I was blessed to have worked with an amazing crew of great actors who were all passionate about it, so we’ll see what happens when the movie comes out.

‘I believe that audiences are going to appreciate it.’
